Privacy Policy

Effective: To be set when approved for publication

This Privacy Policy governs your access to and use of www.rechtszaidlaw.com(the “Site”) as operated by Rechtszaid Law, P.C. (“the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including any content, services, goods, or functionality offered through the Site. When you access the Site, we will receive certain information from and about you. This policy applies to information we collect on the Site and in email, text, chat, telephone, or other communications between you and the Site.

Information We Collect

If you fill out a contact form or opt into our email newsletter: We collect your name, email address, IP address, business/company name, website, and social media profile.

If you purchase or download a digital product: We collect your name, email address, and phone number.

If you book a Strategy Session: We collect your name, email address, and phone number via a third-party scheduling application, and use third-party apps like Stripe and PayPal to collect and process your payment information (including processing your credit card or PayPal information to process payment). We do not store your payment information ourselves.

If you email us: If you send us an email, we may retain the content of your email correspondence, your email address, and our responses.

Information We Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technology

As you navigate the Site, certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns is collected automatically by the servers and networks that deliver it. This generally includes your IP address, the general location associated with it, your operating system, browser type, and type of device, the pages and files you request, the date and time of your visit, and the technical communications between your computer and the Site. We use this information to operate and secure the Site and to understand how it is working.

As of the effective date of this policy, we do not run analytics tools such as Google Analytics on the Site. We may add analytics tools in the future to understand how the Site is used, improve it and our services, and analyze traffic patterns. If we do, we will update this policy before the tools are turned on. Where we can, we will review analytics results in aggregate or statistical form, but technical data such as an IP address can be personal information, so we treat it as such. To the extent you voluntarily give us personal information, such as through a contact form or booking, our systems may associate it with the technical information collected automatically during your visit.

Use of Cookies and Pixels

Like many commercial websites, we may use cookies, server logs, and similar technologies to learn how the Site is used. Cookies are small files placed on your device. Server logs record technical details of each request to a website. Information gathered this way can include the date and time of a visit, the pages viewed, and your IP address, and, if analytics tools are used, time spent on the Site and the websites visited directly before and after ours.

We have not set up cookies of our own to track your browsing, and we do not currently use social media pixels on the Site. Third-party tools that appear on our pages, such as the scheduling tool on the booking pages, may set their own cookies or similar technologies under their own privacy policies.

We reserve the right to use cookies and their technological equivalents, including pixels provided by advertising and social media platforms, in the future. Those pixels can allow a platform to recognize visitors to outside websites so it can tailor the advertising that people see on its own service. If we use them, we will do so in line with the policies of those platforms and applicable law, and we will update this policy before they take effect. We will not use them to send the contents of your inquiry, such as your matter description, to any advertising platform.

How We Use Information

We use the information described above to respond to your inquiry and communicate with you, screen for conflicts of interest before we discuss your matter in more detail, evaluate whether your matter is a fit and whether we have availability, schedule, hold, and be paid for strategy sessions, send related confirmations and reminders, and administer and secure our business, keep records, and comply with legal and professional obligations. We also use this information to track your preferences and to keep you informed about the products and services you have selected to receive and any related products and/or services. We will only enroll you to receive our free email newsletter if you affirmatively consent to it. If you do not wish to receive the newsletter, you may unsubscribe anytime using the “unsubscribe” link in each email we send, or by emailing info@rechtszaidlaw.com.

Who We Share Information With

We do not sell or lease any information collected from or about you. We may disclose your personal information to our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, and service providers for the purposes of providing our services to you.

We may also disclose information to our professional advisers, such as accountants or insurers; when required by law or legal process; to protect the rights, safety, or property of the Firm or others; or to a successor if the Firm's business is transferred.

Children

This Site is not intended for children under 13 in the U.S. and under 16 in the EU. Anyone under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian's consent to this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service on their behalf.

If we learn that we have received personal information from a child without parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at info@rechtszaidlaw.com.

Users in the European Union

If you are in the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) gives you certain rights over your personal data. In plain terms, you have the right to:

  • Ask for access to the personal data we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct it, or to erase it.
  • Ask us to restrict how we process it.
  • Object to our processing of it, and ask for a portable copy of it.
  • Withdraw your consent at any time, if we are relying on your consent. Withdrawing does not undo processing that was lawful before you withdrew.
  • Complain to the data protection authority that oversees GDPR where you live.

To use any of these rights, email rebecca@rechtszaidlaw.com.

How long we keep your information. We keep the information you give us until the earliest of the following: you ask us to delete it; we stop using the service that holds it; or we decide that the value of keeping it no longer outweighs the cost. We may need to keep some information longer where the law or our professional obligations require it, for example to complete a conflict check or to keep records of a payment.

What we ask you to provide. We only ask for the information we reasonably need to enter into a contract with you or to respond to your request. We will not make you agree to any unnecessary processing of your data as a condition of working with us.

Users in California

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the “CCPA”), may give you the following rights:

  • The right to know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose about you.
  • The right to ask us to delete the personal information we have collected from you, with some exceptions.
  • The right to ask us to correct inaccurate personal information.
  • The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
  • The right to limit our use of sensitive personal information in certain ways.
  • The right not to be treated unfairly for using any of these rights.

What we collect. In the past 12 months, depending on how you used the Site, we may have collected: identifiers, such as your name, email address, phone number, and IP address; business information, such as your company name, website, and social media profile; commercial information, such as your Strategy Session bookings and payments; technical information about your visit, such as your browser, device, and the pages you requested; and anything you choose to tell us in a message or form, including a description of your legal matter. We collect this from you directly and from the scheduling, payment, and form tools we use. We use it for the purposes described in “How We Use Information” above.

Sale and sharing. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do disclose personal information to service providers for the business purposes described above, and to the other recipients listed under “Who We Share Information With.” We do not disclose personal information to other businesses for their own direct marketing.

How to make a request. Email rebecca@rechtszaidlaw.com with “California Privacy Request” in the subject line, and tell us what you are asking for. We will need to confirm that the request is really from you before we act on it, and we may ask you for a few details to do so. You can also ask an authorized agent to make a request for you; we may ask for proof that they are authorized. We will respond within the time the law requires. We may not be able to delete or change some information, for example where we must keep it to meet legal or professional obligations, and if so we will tell you.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page. If we make a material change to how we use personal information we have already collected, we will take additional steps as the law requires, such as asking for your consent.
